Description
The MIT Kerberos installation currently overwrites a library (/usr/lib/libcom_err.{so,a}) that is previously installed by the E2fsprogs package. This should probably be fixed somehow. The MIT package has a switch to use the system-installed version of libcom_err, however, the source code needs to be fixed to actually use it with the current E2fsprogs package.
There may come a day when a package expects to link to the E2fsprogs library and will not be able to do so if MIT Kerberos is installed.
It very well may be that MIT Kerberos also installs a libss library which is a conflict as well. However, I have not looked into it that deeply.
